Abrasive jet machining uses a high-pressure stream of abrasive particles carried by gas or water to erode material from a workpiece. Key components include an abrasive delivery system, control system, pump, nozzle, and motion system. It can precisely cut hard materials like ceramics and glass. While removal rates are slower than other machining methods, AJM requires no start holes and generates minimal heat or vibration in the workpiece.

LASER BEAM MACHINING - NON TRADITIONAL MACHININGSajal Tiwari
Laser Beam Machining or more broadly laser material processing deals with machining and material processing like heat treatment, allowing, cladding, sheet metal bending etc. Such processing is carried out utilizing the energy of coherent photons or laser beam, which is mostly converted into thermal energy upon interaction with most of the materials. Nowadays, the laser is also finding application in regenerative machining or rapid prototyping as in processes like stereolithography, selective laser sintering etc. Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The underline working principle of a laser was first put forward by Albert Einstein in
1917 through the first industrial laser for experimentation was developed around the 1960s. The laser beam can very easily be focused using optical lenses as their wavelength ranges from half a micron to around 70 microns. The focused laser beam as indicated earlier can have power density in excess of 1 MW/mm2 . As laser interacts with the material, the energy of the photon are absorbed by the work material leading to a rapid substantial rise in local temperature. This, in turn, results in melting and vaporization of the work material and finally material removal.
Diamond Turn Machining
Diamond turning is turning using a cutting tool with a diamond tip. It is a process of mechanical machining of precision elements using lathes or derivative machine tools equipped with natural or synthetic diamond-tipped tool bits.

Advance machining processes are used where higher accuracy and surface finish is required. One of them, Abrasive jet machining is a non-traditional machining process in which a high-pressure air stream and abrasive particles impinge on a work surface through a nozzle. Abrasive jet machining (AJM) removes material through the action of a focused beam of abrasive jet directed at the workpiece the resulting erosion can be used for cutting, drilling and debarring etc. With the increase of needs for machining of ceramics, semiconductors, electronic devices and L.C.D., AJM has become a useful technique for micromachining. it is more useful in industries for precision work. Material removal rate during this process affected by different parameters like abrasive particle size, the velocity of abrasive flow rate, gas pressure, standoff distance etc.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
2. INTRODUCTION
Abrasive jet machining is the material removal process where the material is removed by
high velocity stream of air/gas or water and abrasive mixture .
An abrasive is small, hard particle having sharp edges and an irregular shape .
High velocity jet is aimed at a surface under controller condition .
3. Introduction(cotd.)
A stream of abrasive grains (Al2O3 or SiC) is carried by high pressure gas or air
(compressed).
Impinges on the work surface at very high velocity through a nozzle of 0.3 to
0.5 mm diameter.
Sand Blasting (SB) - a similar process
The major differences between are SB and AJM
• smaller diameter abrasives
• a more finely controlled delivery system
Material removal – by mechanical abrasion action of the high velocity abrasive
particles.
Best suited for hole drilling in superhard materials.
Typically used to cut, clean, peen, deburr, deflash and etch glass, ceramics
and other hard materials.
5. A gas (Nitrogen, CO2 or air) is supplied at 2 – 8 kg/cm2
Oxygen should never be used. (because, it causes violent chemical
action with the workpiece chips or abrasive particles).
Gas passes through a mixing chamber after filtration and regulation.
In the mixing chamber, abrasive particles (10 – 40 m) are present
and vibrated at 50 Hz.
Amplitude of vibration – to control the feed rate of abrasives.
(Gas + abrasives) - passed through a 0.45 mm diameter tungsten
carbide nozzle at a speed of 150 – 300 m/s.
The nozzle is directed over the area to be machined.
Machining System – Contd.
6. 6
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC) powders are
used for heavy cleaning, cutting and debarring.
Magnesium carbonate is recommended for use in light cleaning
and etching.
Sodium bicorbonate – fine cleaning and cutting of soft materials.
Commercial grade powders are not suitable – because their sizes
are not well classified. Also, they may contain silica which can
cause a health hazard.
Abrasive powders are not reused. because, contaminations and
worn grits will reduce the machining rate (MRR).
The nozzle stand off distance is 0.81 mm.
Machining System – Contd.
7. 7
Relative motion between nozzle and workpiece – can be manual
Or automatically controlled using cam drives, tracer mechanisms
or using computer controlled according to the cut geometry
required.
Masks of copper, glass or rubber – can be used to concentrate the
jet stream of abrasives to a confined area on the workpiece.
Intricate and precise shapes can be produced using masks with
corresponding contours.
Dust removal or collecting equipment must be incorporated to
protect the environment.

8. Components of Abrasive Jet
Machining
o Abrasive delivery system
o Control system
o Pump
o Nozzle
o Mixing tube
o Motion system
9. 1. Abrasive Delivery System
Auto abrasive delivery system has the capability of storing abrasive &
delivery the abrasive to the bucket . It’s works auto programming
system by help of once measuring record & no adjustment or fine
tuning system . High sensitive sensor gives extremely reliable &
repeatable .
10. 2. Control system
The control algorithm that computes exactly how the feed rate
should vary for a given geometry in a given material to make a
precise part .
The algorithm actually determines desired variation in the feed
rate & the tool path to provide an extremely smooth feed rate .
11. 3. PUMP
Crankshaft & intensifier pump are mainly use in the abrasive jet
machine .
The intensifier pump was the only
pump capable of reliably creating
pressures high .
Crankshaft pumps are more efficient than intensifier pumps
because they do not require a power robbing hydraulic system
ultra high pressure & more stroke per minute .
12. 4.Nozzle
All abrasive jet systems use the same basic two stage nozzle .
First , water passes through a small diameter jewel orifice to form
a narrow jet .
The abrasive particles are accelerated by the moving
stream of water & they pass into a long hollow
cylindrical ceramic mixing tube.
Generally two type of nozzle use , right angle head & straight
head .
14. 5. Mixing tube
The mixing tube is where the abrasive mixes with the high
pressure water .
The mixing tube should be
replaced when tolerances drop
below acceptable levels .For
maximum accuracy , replace the
mixing tube
more frequently .
15. 6.Motion system
In order to make precision parts , an abrasive
jet system must have a precision x-y table and
motion control system .
Tables fall into three general categories .
Floor-mounted gantry systems
Integrated table/gantry systems
Floor-mounted cantilever systems
16. Working Process
High pressure water starts at the pump , and is delivered through
special high pressure plumbing to the nozzle .
At the nozzle , abrasive is introduced & as the abrasive/water
mixture exits , cutting is performed .
Once the jet has exited the nozzle , the energy is dissipated into
the catch tank , which is usually full of water & debris from
previous cut .

method , i.e harder materials like titanium to steel.
Abrasive particles must be hard ,high toughness,
irregular in shape & edges should be sharp .

29. Abrasive Jet Machining
Modelling of material removal
Material removal in AJM takes place due to brittle fracture of the
work material due to impact of high velocity abrasive particles.
Modelling has been done with the following assumptions:
(i) Abrasives are spherical in shape and rigid. The particles are
characterized by the mean grit diameter
(ii) The kinetic energy of the abrasives are fully utilised in
removing material
(iii) Brittle materials are considered to fail due to brittle fracture
and the fracture volume is considered to be hemispherical with
diameter equal to chordal length of the indentation
(iv) For ductile material, removal volume is assumed to be equal
to the indentation volume due to particulate impact.
